Commit alert! Rutgers Football gets verbal pledge from 3-star Cedrice Paillant

The Rutgers football coaching staff continues to put work on the recruiting trail and hosts a number of official visitors this weekend. The hope is to get some (or all) of them to decide to come to Rutgers and sign as soon as Wednesday, the beginning of the early signing period. The Scarlet Knights secured a verbal commitment from one of them, Cedrice Paillant of New Rochelle by way of Monroe College, Friday:

Rutgers is believed to have been Cedrice’s 13th Division 1 offer per Hudl, though Rutgers is his first Power Five. At 6’5” and 305 pounds, Paillant is a high three-star prospect, the 4th best JUCO in New York for the 2020 class, the 15th best JUCO offensive tackle available according to the 247 composite which includes other sources.
